Obama’s Sort of Got Moves Like Jagger

Leave it to Mick Jagger to get a staid White House crowd out of its seat during a celebration of the blues Monday night in the East Room. Just after 8 p.m., the White House Twitter account jokingly boasted, “Wait, did Mick Jagger just take the stage?” Indeed he did, and he jacked up Obama and Michelle, who clapped and swayed — not too awkwardly, either. The concert’s star-studded lineup for the “Red White and Blues” also included 86-year-old blues legend B.B. King, plus Jeff Beck. Jagger said he’d been a blues admirer since he was akid.

The show streamed live on the White House website and will air on PBS on Monday, February 27. Obama doesn’t exactly have moves like Jagger, but not bad for a guy who wears dadjeans.
